Frequently Asked Questions
How is prorated rent calculated?
Divide monthly rent by the number of days in the move-in month to get the daily rate, then multiply by remaining days. If rent is $1,500 and you move in on the 20th of a 30-day month: $1,500/30 = $50/day x 11 remaining days = $550 prorated rent.
Do I pay prorated rent plus a full month?
Typically yes. Most leases require first month's prorated rent, a full security deposit, and often last month's rent at move-in. Starting the 15th of March, you would pay half of March (prorated) and then full rent for April on April 1st.
Do landlords have to prorate rent?
There is no federal law requiring rent proration. It depends on your lease terms and local regulations. Most landlords prorate for mid-month move-ins since it is standard practice and fair. Always check your lease agreement for specific proration terms.
